Council
The Council and the Senate form the conventional two-tier pattern of University organization. The Council is the chief executive body and the governing authority of the University. The Senate is the academic authority and makes recommendations to the Council regarding teaching, research, examinations and related matters of the University. Next in rank are the Faculty Boards of the Faculties at the igt²ÊƱ. Each Faculty Board regulates matters pertaining to teaching, research and examinations in the respective Faculty, subject to control of the Senate.
The Council of the igt²ÊƱ is made up of the Vice-Chancellor (ex-officio chairperson), Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Deans, two elected representatives of the Senate and thirteen laymen of distinction appointed by the UGC. The members of the Council are as follows:
